Let it go…
Posted on | March 11, 2010 | 5 Comments
I’m joining the internet obsession with the newest ok go video. It’s a rather fantastic song too, with lyrics that support me keeping my head on straight and not freaking out, which I am, sadly, very prone to do.
Things are a bit hectic about here lately. It’s a good thing, it means I can pay rent and such, but it also means that my already poor organizational skills are being put to the test yet again. Today I spent 45 minutes online looking at planners before deciding to stick with the iCal and just force myself to type in all my appointments and bookings.
I want to issue a special thanks to everyone who came out to the show, it was such an amazing night! I loved seeing everyone and meeting new friends. I am also so glad the show pulled together so well and was actually finished when people started showing up. Hooray!
I’ll probably eat my words, as I generally do when I say things like this, but I’ve felt more like a “grown up” than ever before in the past few weeks. Some of it had to do with facing my fears, some with setting and successfully keeping boundaries, and some with having 4 college-aged boys sleeping on the floor of our studio apartment on their spring break.
It’s a refreshing sort of feeling… like sand settling down into my body, like submitting to gravity and liking it. I remember my friend David telling me this would likely happen near the end of my twenties. He was right.
I’m feeling that giddy sense of clarity that appears every now and again in life.
Don’t worry, I’ve got to do my taxes this next week, so it won’t last too long.
Love,
Sam

that was lovely. and i love the ok go vid too… that chain reaction was so cool but it;s also a good symbol for life, stuff happens and things keep going. some good, some cool, some destructive but time keeps passing… oh, and i just did my taxes… boo-hoo… not appreciating having to pay back the so-called tax encentive my hubby and received throughout this past year… yeah. wasn’t planning on that one. the saying “go for broke” now applies to me. but i hope yours goes better and congrats on the success of the weekend and for feeling good about feeling grounded… i’ll be 30 on my next b-day so i know what you are talking about. oh, i love the illustration too! lovely. i need a copy to hang by the door… it a good reminder displayed in such a pretty way!

Agreed! Did you see the radio story about the making of the movie? I think it was on The Takeaway yesterday or the day before…
